Benfica boss Jorge Jesus has savagely taken aim at Manchester City and their history by telling Ruben Dias he is joining a 'smaller club'.
Jesus, who is known to be frank and a straight-talker, made the not-so-subtle dig as Dias made a tearful farewell to his Benfica team-mates ahead of his £64million move to the Etihad.
As the Benfica squad sat around the dressing room, Jesus took the moment to praise the 23-year-old before having a pop at his new club.
